Locked Up

With Bob out of town, I went to the dealer and signed all those papers, waded through details, listened to sales pitch for warranties, concentrated while all the dash items were reviewed and the steering wheel adjusted to fit me. Whew!

I called insurance agency and I-pass to transfer to new vehicle description. It's a done deal.

Now it's locked in the garage. With the old red van (1996) in the drive, I'll drive it until it dies, needs major repairs, or we find a home for it.

The new van is for road trips for now. It has XM radio with 3 months of
free service. How wonderful for the road. For now, it's parked with 46 miles on the odometer.

After learning the best rate available through Honda was 5.9% on new car loan, we decided to take $ from mutual fund money market which is paying a little over 3%. That was an easy decision. If rates had been low, we would have left the $ to grow.

Bob will be back tonight. I'm sure he'll take it for a spin over the weekend before he leaves town again.

It's been a full week.

'til later
